CEO of Vertical Leadership Consulting, Dr. Becky Andree is our podcast guest for our episode called Leadership & the Role of High Quality Connections. We had an insightful conversation that revolved around leadership, perspectives, complexity of thinking - how it impacts the way in which we connect with other humans, and so much more. We also talked about her approach and research on how perspectival action (perspective taking, perspective seeking, and perspective coordinating) skills contribute or enable high quality connections, those exchanges that leave us feeling energised. ABOUT DR. BECKY ANDREE Dr. Becky Andree is CEO of Vertical Leadership Consulting, designing thinking and connection solutions that activate untapped potential while training leaders' brains to thrive in a complex world.  VLC specifically targets two root causes – missing high-quality connections that create life-giving experiences for all and capacity for complexity of thinking for individual leaders and the collective organisation. Her research and interventions have been described as “powerful”, “unique and challenging”, and “providing the disruption needed to further develop capacities”. As an international talent management visionary, leadership development expert and connections architect, she combines 25+ years in Fortune 500 companies and PhD research to understand first-hand the pressures, stress, and complexity in organisations today.

In this inspiring podcast filled with fun, music and insights, our guest episode Mykel Dixon, enlightens us as he speaks about creativity, building connection deeply with oneself, and preparing ourselves for the “wow of work”. This is truly an unforgettable and energetic conversation you don't want to miss. “I'm not necessarily talking about the future of work, we're talking about the now of work because everything that we've been anticipating, expecting and hoping might happen has arrived. And why stop with the now of work when we can talk about the wow of work.” ABOUT THE GUEST Mykel Dixon helps fortune 500 and ASX 200 listed companies develop high-performance creative leaders and cultivate innovative, inclusive & interdependent teams. A jazz musician by trade, gypsy by nature, fierce non-conformist and prolific anti-perfectionist. Myke leads a new wave of conscious, creative business leaders who work to make work more like play, teams more like communities, and organisations more like festivals of possibility. Speaking globally to a stellar cast of the world’s most successful brands, Mykel gets to see first-hand what stops us making magic at work. This hurts his squishy widdle heart so he’s made it his mission to liberate the innate and infinite potential of people working 9 to 5 (or 7 to 7). Mykel’s intent for every presentation or program is that every attendee leaves feeling more connected to their creativity, more confident to express their unique perspective, and more committed to being a force for good at work (and in life). Named Australia’s Breakthrough Speaker of The Year (by the professional speakers association) and revered among his peers for his ability to rewrite the rules, Myke is regularly used as the ‘X-factor’ moment for any conference or event. Shifting and lifting the energy of a room from passive consumers of content to proactive co-creators of the experience. His second book 'Everyday Creative – a dangerous guide to making magic at work' was just named the #1 Leadership Book in Australia for 2021 at the Australian Business Book Awards. He is undeniably knowledgeable, charismatic and clever in regards to creativity, team dynamics and organisational success; yet he remains refreshingly accessible, authentic and safe for people to explore, take risks and have a go – a recipe for every kind of breakthrough.
